Understanding Concave Mirrors

The video tutorial explains why reflections appear upside down on a spoon, which acts like a concave mirror. It describes how the inward curve of the spoon causes light rays to reflect differently, leading to an inverted image. The concept of a focal point is introduced, explaining that standing beyond this point results in an inverted image, while standing before it shows an upright image.

Why does your reflection appear upside down when you look into a spoon?

• Due to the outward curve of the spoon

• Because the spoon is flat

• Because the spoon is transparent

• Due to the inward curve of the spoon

What is a concave mirror?

• A mirror with an outward curved surface

• A mirror with a flat surface

• A mirror with a transparent surface

• A mirror with an inward curved surface

How do light rays behave when they hit a concave mirror?

• They are reflected in a scattered manner

• They pass through the mirror

• They are absorbed by the mirror

• They are reflected in a specific manner

What happens to the light rays from your face when you look into a concave mirror like a spoon?

• They remain unchanged

• They pass through the spoon

• They get reflected downwards

• They get reflected upwards

What is the focal point in the context of a concave mirror?

• The point where light rays diverge

• The point where light rays meet

• The point where light rays are absorbed

• The point where light rays are scattered
